Ex-Communist leaders show little regret over 1970s anti-dissident campaign
1 2002 Aktuality English
Prague December 13. INTERFAX EUROPE -- December saw the opening, and consequent adjournment until February, of the trial of ex-Communist Interior Minister Jaromir Obzina and four senior StB. secret police officers charged with abuse of public office.
Obzina and the others are accused of organizing and implementing a campaign of physical and terror between 1978 and 1984, code-named `Slum Clearance,' with the aim of "persuading" dissidents that they would be better off emigrating. The trial represents the first major attempt to bring senior members of the former Communist regime to justice for giving orders to carry out illegal acts. On December 11, the state prosecutor adjourned the case, on the grounds that 15 witnesses and six victims had failed to appear. The state prosecutor and lawyers for the accused also requested the calling of further witnesses.
Obzina defends himself mainly on the grounds that his actions were legal under the laws of the time. However, Obzina and his fellow accused do not rely purely on this formal defense, but have various more ingenious, and ingenuous, arguments to justify their actions. Obzina, for instance, argues that `Slum Clearance' was actually a program to assist opponents of the regime and comply with the Helsinki human rights agreement by resolving the previous problem that people were denied the right to emigrate. Obzina also argues that the order to "exert pressure" on dissidents was not in itself illegal and that he cannot be held responsible for "excesses" that occurred in carrying out the plan.
The trial has given a harrowing description of these "excesses" that occurred. Singer Jaroslav Hutka was given the "option" of emigration or prison. Member of dissident rock group Vratislav Brabenec was given the same option, with the StB. indicating that they would "find" a machine gun in his cupboard. Both were subjected to physical violence during interrogations.
The StB. also made use of family members to exert psychological pressure. Brabenec described how the StB. took his wife and two year-old child to an unknown location. Charter 77 spokesperson Zdena Tominova decided in favor of emigration after her children were subjected to systematic bullying at school. Jiri Hermach emigrated to Austria in the early 1980s at the age of 74 after his grandchild was refused a place at grammar school.
Svatopluk Karasek told the court how he and his wife decided to leave in 1980, despite the fact that neither of them wished to emigrate from the CR. Karasek said he was subjected to enormous pressure: his wife had heart problems and the two had three young children at the time. Karasek ironically commented the decision of the regime to prevent him performing his profession as a Protestant churchman, saying that he "actually bettered his position," since as a vicar he earned around 500 crowns a month, while as a window cleaner he got 4,000.
Ivan Medek described how he was detained by StB agents, tied up and blindfolded, taken by car to woodland, beaten up, and left. His consequent complaints and requests for an investigation made to the courts, the president, and the interior minister received no reply.
Neither were women spared physical violence. In a related trial at Prague 1 in which two former St.B operatives Zbynek Dudek and Jiri Simak are accused, Zina Freundova, a member of the committee for the defense of the unjustly accused, described how three unmasked men entered her flat at 2 a.m., after one of them had introduced himself as an acquaintance of hers. They kicked and beat her, cut off her hair, stripped her naked, felt her genitals, threatened her with rape, and told her that next time they would murder her. Dudak denies the charges claiming that he was merely a driver for the StB. and did not take part in interrogations.
This trial, in which Simak and Dudek are also accused of brutally beating dissident Zbynek Benysek, has lso been adjourned until February because of the non-appearance of Simak, who also denies being present at the beatings. The adjournment angered some former dissidents. Brabenec and Ivan Jirous, the poet popularly known as `Magor" ("Idiot'), said Dudek should be "brought to the court in chains, just as they did with us."
Most disturbingly of all it seems Obzina genuinely believes that the beatings and other means used truly were justified in the defense of the socialist homeland. After Medek's appearance as a witness, Obzina raved about Medek's work, after emigration, for Radio Free Europe, in which according to Obzina Medek was paid by the American imperialists to attack Czechoslovakia.
A further eleven people, mostly regional heads of the StB. are also due to be charged. The investigation of the case has been going on since 1995 and originally a total of 25 people were to be charged.

The North York Hockey League caught up with hockey analyst Doug MacLean. Doug graciously shared some of his memorable moments and thoughts about his past experiences.
James Douglas "Doug" MacLean is a Canadian sportscaster and former hockey coach and general manager. He is the former president/general manager and head coach of the National Hockey League's Columbus Blue Jackets and was also the head coach of the Florida Panthers. Currently he is a hockey analyst on Sportsnet and is on the Hockey Central panel.
The NYHL would like to extend a sincere thanks to Doug for taking the time to sit down with us.
When I got named captain of the Bantam rep team in Summerside, Prince Edward Island. I also read the book "How to Win friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. This taught me how to get along with others.
I loved playing hockey. The camaraderie aspect of minor sports was great as well. Some of my best friends still today are people are played with.
It gave me the drive to win and succeed. When you are successful at something, you always feel better about yourself.
I also learned about team bonding and how to get along with others.
Yes. To everything in my life.
I had a few that really stand out. The first was winning the bantam championship in P.E.I. Another was coaching in the P.E.I Junior B league.
Another achievement was coaching the Florida Panthers to the Stanley Cup final.
To be an NHL player. I went to the St. Louis Blues training camp, but unfortunately was sent to their farm team.
What was your favorite NHL building to be in and why?
Any of the original six buildings were great. The atmosphere in any of these was electrifying. My #1 choice would have to be Maple Leaf Gardens.
What was your most memorable moment in the NHL as a GM or a coach?
It was with the expansion Columbus Blue Jackets. The night before the draft we were able to move up and pick Rick Nash as the overall #1 pick.
It teaches children a lot of life lessons. Examples are competitiveness, team building and create lifelong friendships.
Stay in the game anyway you can.
Always remember it is just a game. Make sure your children value the benefits they get out of the game other than becoming a pro.
Thanks to Doug MacLean for his time! We've had Face to Face chats with all sorts of interesting people involved with hocke! Read all the interviews.

This past week several students had the opportunity to visit Dr. Ward, a surgeon who specializes in breast surgery/surgical oncology. During our time with Dr. Ward she shared her story – how did she decide to become a surgeon? Why breast surgery? What was her biggest challenge? What did she study in college? It was a candid and honest conversation. She introduced us to a couple of her colleagues, a radiologist and a medical oncologist who explained their role in patient treatment. So, what can a small group of high school girls learn from spending just a bit of time with women (and men) working in a STEM field? A lot! On our way back to campus we talked about the commitment, dedication and enthusiasm of the people we encountered and how the girls could see themselves in the adults they met that morning. We also discussed the wide variety of career options in medicine, something they area just beginning to explore. It was a short meeting but they came away with inspiration, a glimpse into what's possible and a feeling that they could do this; that they belong here. Thank you to all of you who take time to talk with girls who express interest in STEM careers. Rest assured that every story shared has an impact.


This past weekend we made it to Brooklyn Grange in Long Island City. The rooftop garden was exploding with organic produce… there was even a chicken coop! From their farm stand we purchased some spicy arugula, colorful snap peas, rooftop honey, fresh eggs, chives, purple basil, zucchini flowers, baby zucchini and carrots. It was a veggie dream (swoon). The people working on the farm were friendly, informative, and happy to answer any questions. It is important for me to purchase local produce and just as, if not more, important to know about the farm's pesticide use (this is my go to question at any farm stand). They happily let me know that organic pesticides are only used when plants are infested with aphids… that's what I like to hear! They even create their own compost from locally sourced organic waste; continually enriching the rooftop produce with nutrient dense soil.
Shopping for produce on this rooftop farm while taking in the city view was a true NYC experience.
I am used to the Union Square Farmer's Market where there are diverse products to choose from. With scale comes crowds. You really don't have to worry about tripping over anyone's tiny terrified dog here or getting pushed out of the way by people walking through with their bikes; it was quite relaxing and pleasant. While diversity of products was limited, when compared to larger scale farmer's markets, there was plenty of exceptional produce to be had. I recommend getting there on the early side, before all the good stuff is gone. In order to get upstairs you must first enter the building through COFFEED, where you can stop for a yummy cold brewed coffee pre-produce picking. I definitely plan on going back, with coffee in hand and an empty bag to fill with delicious goods.


The Government of India in its endeavor to provide the right stimulus for growth of industry in country – particularly with the objective of helping SMEs has established ten Tool Rooms at Aurangabad, Ahmedabad, Bhubaneshwar, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Indore, Jamshedpur, Kolkata, Jalandhar and Ludhiana. These Tool Rooms provide invaluable service to the Indian industry by way of precision tooling and providing skilled manpower in the area of the tool and die making. The setting up of these Tool Rooms led to the dawn of a new era in the field of tooling and co-related activities in India. Today these Tool Rooms are highly proficient in mould and die making technology and promote precision and quality in development and manufacture of sophisticated moulds, dies and tools. Each Tool Room has achieved the apex position in its respective region.
Not only are the Tool Rooms equipped with the best technology, they are also abreast with the latest advancements in the field and periodically add new technology like CAD/CAM, CNC machining for Tooling, Vacuum Heat Treatment, Rapid Prototyping, etc.
The Tool Rooms are concentrating on an Integrated Development of the related segments of industries by way of providing International Quality Tools, Trained Personnel and Consultancy in tooling and related areas and are constantly crossing new frontiers in the quest for excellence and beyond.
The Tool Rooms have also developed special training programmes to meet the requirements at international level. Tool Rooms are conducting training programmes for international participates sponsored under various agreements to Govt. of India like Technical Co-operation Scheme of Colombo (TCS), Special Commonwealth African Assistant Programme (SCAAP), Indian Technical and Economic Co-operation (ITEC), Aid to Sri Lanka etc. in the areas of Tool Design, Manufacture, Low Cost Automation, CAD/CAM etc. The participants from all over the globe are undergoing the training.
Tool Rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art machinery and support facilities. All the Tool Rooms adhere to the principles of Total Quality Management (TQM). They are ISO 9001-2000 certified institutions and a few of them are ISO-14000 and OHSAS-18000 certified. Central Tool Room & Training Centre, Bhubaneswar is also AS-9100 certified for Aero-space Component Supply.
The facilities of the Tool Rooms allow for the design and manufacture of sophisticated medium and small-size tools. These tools are in conformity with international standards. The latest hardware and software ensure the professional design of tools and 3D solid modeling.
Surface modeling and analysis for the product development along with reverse engineering and rapid prototyping are additional features.
The Production Centres of the Tool Rooms offer an array of cutting edge production services. These comprise of the manufacture of press tools, moulds, jigs, fixtures, gauges, die casting dies, manufacture of standard parts and components, and carry out precision job work.
In addition, these institutes provide technical services such as design of tools, dies, moulds and similar products, materials testing, heat treatment, quality control, and technical consultancy related to the manufacture or application of tools.
For effective utilization of the high-tech facilities each Production Centre relies on a team of experienced specialists: design and production engineers, plant supervisors, foremen, and skilled workers, e.g. tool and die makers, fitters and machine operators.
The Tool Rooms believes in TQM Philosophy. This belief s evident in the procedures adopted for ensuring quality before and after manufacture. High precision equipments like CNC Coordinate Measuring Machine, Electronic Height Master, CNC Profile Projector and Tool Maker's Microscope ensure thorough checking of the components. A full-fledged standards room also offers calibration services as per ISO-9001 requirements.
The Tool Rooms are equipped with different ranges of mechanical & hydraulic presses and microprocessor controlled injection molding machines. These machines are being used for tryout purposes of the tools, dies and moulds and also for component production.
"Our high precision components and assemblies are being used not only by MSMEs but also by defence factories, aerospace sector (ISRO and HAL), aeronautical factories, automobile sector, engineering industry, among other". Says S. Maity, General Manager, Central Tool Rooms & Training Centre, Bhubaneswar. The story is same for all tool rooms.
The Tool Rooms' philosophy of Integrated Solution for Indian industrial growth is based on the provision of trained, skilled and innovative manpower. Well structured, modular, practically oriented long term training programmes are the main focus of the Tool Rooms. However, having realized the need to update and upgrade the skills of the existing technical personnel, the Tool Rooms have introduced numerous courses – both regular and tailor made ones – to meet the specific needs of the industry. All courses are regularly upgraded to keep abreast with global technological advancements. Various levels of courses, viz., certificate, diploma, advanced diploma, post diploma, post graduate diploma and post graduate courses offered by Tool Rooms are accepted by the industries in India and abroad for employment purposes. Training facilities in the above field called for sophisticated equipment to keep pace with the development elsewhere in the world. It also demands a team of teaching staff, who have acquired practical & theoretical knowledge to equip the trainees to act independently and to lead to a team on the shop floor. "Students trained by our Tool Rooms are well received by industries, which is evident from nearly 100% placement of long term trainees," says H.D. Kapse, General Manager, Indo German Tool Room, Aurangabad.
At a time when technological development, growth and employment generation are closely related, the role of these tool rooms is very significant as they are serving as a nursery for developing entrepreneurial spirit and fostering the growth of SME sector. As against 40000 people trained by the Tool Rooms during last year, it is expected to touch figure 50,000 this year.
Since 2003, with the objective of opening avenues of gainful employment for school dropouts, the Tool Room have been offering one year programme for children who have studies up to tenth class. After training them, they are being helped to get placements in automobile, white goods, engineering industry etc. On an average in every batch, each tool room trains and makes about 40 school dropouts ready for the job market.
"We are in the process of standardising our training programmes by benchmarking them with International Training Institutes of repute like Fraunhofer Institute of Technology, Germany in order to improve their acceptability in national & international arena" says R.K. Rai, Director (Tool Room), Office of Development Commissioner (MSME).
Apart from assisting State Governments for setting up of Tool Rooms, MSME- Tool Rooms have also successfully executed international assignments for setting up Tool Rooms and Vocational Training Centres as well as training of trainers for developing countries like Zimbabwe, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Tajakistan etc.
Conducting surveys and studies to identify the tooling and related skill requirements in particular areas, regions or in the country.
Providing consultancy to existing engineering industries in upgrading their production facilities, selection of machine tools, design consultancy for tools, moulds, dies, jigs & fixtures, etc.
Providing specialized tailor-made training courses after identifying the needs.
Providing consultancy to existing training institutes in course design and curriculum development including trainers training programmes.

During the end of the spring semester, the University of Illinois Department of Psychology released a new minor that students can pursue with any major on campus.
Billy Vermillion, academic adviser in psychology, said the department was constantly asked during campus events, such as major and minor fairs, when a psychology minor would be available.
"It's been something students have been asking about for years now," Vermillion said.
He explained how the minor has already been so popular because it can be applied to almost any major, especially in fields with personal interaction.
According to Vermillion, a student must take a basic introductory course, a basic statistics course, one biological cognitive course, one clinical, developmental or social class, and two advanced courses anywhere in the department.
"We have informational meetings concerning the minor on a weekly basis, and more information is available on the department website for students," Vermillion said.
Vermillion said the minor can be declared any time and no other psychology courses have to be completed before the minor. The department expects many students to express interest as word continues to spread.
Sarah Weibel, sophomore in LAS, hopes to pursue the psychology minor with the goal of going into human resources because it combines working with people and management.
"I want to be able to interact with people, but also understand people. I think a psychology minor would be so important to have for both those areas," Weibel said.
John Balch, senior in Media, was aiming to double major in advertising and psychology going into freshman year. However, a heavy course load ruined those plans.
He said it's a good minor for advertising since you are essentially just manipulating how people look at products.
Being a senior, Balch said he is not concerned with the amount of coursework that goes into this new minor.
"I think I planned it well in advance, though, so I already have most of the classes under my belt," Balch said.
Vermillion said overall the minor is reasonably doable for any major, being that it requires 18 credit hours.

The PGA will bestow its 2018 Stanley Kramer Award on Get Out, Jordan Peele's social horror thriller that has been one of the most buzzed-about, and lucrative, movies of 2017. The honor will be given out during the 29th annual PGA Awards set for January 20 at the Beverly Hilton.
The Kramer award honors a production, producer or other individuals "whose achievement or contribution illuminates and raises public awareness of important social issues." Last year, Jeff Nichols' Loving won the award.
The guild will present the award to Get Out producers Sean McKittrick, Jason Blum, Edward H. Hamm, Jr. and Peele, who also wrote and made his directorial debut on the pic, which bowed in February via Universal and grossed $254.3 million at the global box office. It has been cleaning up on the awards circuit too, with Best Picture noms from the Golden Globes and Critics' Choice and a SAG ensemble nomination, along with several best picture wins from critics groups. The PGA announces its feature film noms January 5.
The plot centers on Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) and his girlfriend Rose (Allison Williams), who go on a weekend getaway upstate to meet Rose's parents. At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could have never imagined.
Bradley Whitford, Caleb Landry Jones, Stephen Root, Lakeith Stanfield, Lil Rel Howery, Erika Alexander, Marcus Henderson, Betty Gabriel and Catherine Keener co-star.
The PGA Awards this year will also honor Ava DuVernay with the Visionary Award, Charles Roven with the David O. Selznick Award and Universal's Donna Langley with the Milestone Award.

Georgia car insurance state law says that all drivers must have a minimum coverage for a certain amount of money for both personal injuries and damage to property that may occur in an accident. Anyone who drives a vehicle in this state must have $25,000 in personal injury liability and $25,000 for property damage as well. The total amount paid out in a single accident does not exceed $50,000 per accident in this type of coverage. Some people who live in Georgia may find this insurance plan insufficient, which is why many choose to take it up a notch and get a more in-depth auto insurance coverage policy.
In 2009 the option of getting insurance coverage for accidents involving uninsured drivers became available. Since then many people have taken advantage of this opportunity to protect themselves from an unfair and imbalanced financial situation. In order to keep the amount you pay in damages or medical bills down, everyone involved in the accident needs to have insurance; however that is not always the case. No matter what state you live in, this type of coverage is a good idea.
Georgia has a system which is referred to as "Tort", and this means that with every auto collision/accident, someone is to blame. No matter what the circumstances, there is always one person named as the guilty party who assumed financial responsibility for all the costs involved in the accident. It is important to take not that while many states operate under this system, the details may vary depending on where you live. You should always be aware of all the laws, because one day you might need to use them to your advantage.
If you feel like this required minimum coverage simply is not enough for when you are out on the streets driving, then you will want to learn how to go about getting a better policy for yourself. There are all sorts of carriers that provide auto insurance to people who are in need.
Comprehensive coverage plans for example, are excellent choices for people who want total protection from all possible threats, including wildlife related damages, floods, earthquakes, fire, falling objects, and much more. If you demand something more out of your coverage, you need comprehensive. Collision coverage is also a good idea, protecting you in the event that you hit a wall, car, fire hydrant, or anything of the like. When you are searching for the right Georgia car insurance, you also need to take price into consideration. Shop as many carriers as possible so you can get cheap car insurance with good coverage, which you can do with an online car insurance quote. There is nothing better than getting exactly what you are searching for at a price that works for you, when getting your Georgia car insurance policy.


On a more serious note, I can see where "reconciliation" might be appropriate response when an entire sector of society has engaged in immoral behavior over the course of decades or its entire history. Punishing each individual is time-consuming and there's a serious question as to whether there's any judicial process that can properly identify all individuals who deserve punishment or that can prevent the process from being used to wage private vendettas.
Indeed, if you'll recall, Trump tried to make a peace-offering the moment he was elected when he did not immediately prosecute Hillary for her blatant and extreme national security violations, fire Comey for his gross dereliction of duty, prosecute Lois Lerner for breaking strict IRS laws, etc. The Left did not respond with forbearance. Instead, it redoubled its efforts to stage a coup against Trump.
No mercy. No forbearance. No turning the other cheek. No letting bygones be bygones. No truth and reconciliation.
When you are faced with specifically identifiable people who knowingly committed acts of extreme criminality and immorality, you must punish them. Otherwise, the rule of law is meaningless and any semblance of a stable, civil society, one in which people rely upon and respect the law and each other, is over FOREVER.


On Thursday, October 25th, 2018 at approximately 7:36pm the Santa Ana Police Department received numerous calls of a pedestrian versus vehicle traffic collision in the 1800 block of S. Cedar Street. Our officers responded to the area and found the pedestrian to still be down in the roadway. Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) personnel responded and began to treat the pedestrian before he was transported by ambulance to the OC Global Medical Center where he later succumbed to his injuries.
The preliminary investigation has revealed the pedestrian was standing on the driver's side of his parked vehicle when he was struck by the vehicle which was headed south on Cedar Street. After striking the pedestrian, the vehicle struck five parked vehicles before coming to rest. The driver of the vehicle remained at the collision scene and cooperated with the investigation. The driver is believed to not have been under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the collision. He provided a voluntary blood sample and a toxicology analysis will be performed to determine his sobriety. The pedestrian's sobriety will be determined through a forensic toxicology analysis completed by the Orange County Coroner's Office as part of the autopsy. Witnesses have provided statements that there was a second vehicle potentially involved at the time of the collision. This has yet to be confirmed at this point of the investigation.
The Santa Ana Police Department's Collision Investigation Unit (CIU) responded to the collision and handled the investigation. Anyone possibly having information about this collision, or the potential second vehicle involved, are asked to contact the Santa Ana Police Department's Traffic Division at (714) 245-8200 or Orange County Crime Stoppers at 1-855-TIP-OCCS.

Queen of tidy Marie Kondo and her "tidying up" method has been an inspirational game-changer for so many people showing how you can create a world in which everything around you sparks joy.
But what if this was applied to food?
Would foods like cookies, fries, and pizza spark joy? Or foods like salad, rice and veggies, and smoothies? Or a balance?
When we choose what, when, and how much we eat based on a diet, plan, food rules, or should's, we miss the signals and cues our body is trying to give us for what it wants and needs to keep us at our best. We throw off our body's natural balance over time.
Because of this, we eventually experience struggles with food like always being on track or off track, restricting and bingeing, constantly thinking about food, insatiable hunger, cravings and emotional eating.
When those things happen, it's common to blame ourselves and the food, thinking that we just need to try harder to control it. But it doesn't work because it's not addressing the real root cause of what's driving the actions we take around food to begin with.
Choosing what, when and how much to eat based on tuning in and listening to what our body is asking for, what would feel good and spark joy for us. Everything changes, becomes easier.
Think about your own eating habits, do they spark joy? Or do they spark stress?
A big reason people try to control their eating habits is that they think that's how they will get a body that will make them happy. I used to think that too!
Diet culture teaches us, especially women, that weight loss = happiness. We've been taught a big way to lose weight is to restrict and deprive ourselves of foods that bring us joy – like sugary, carby, and fatty foods, and if we do eat them, that we've been bad, we're failed, and should feel guilty.
This leaves so many women constantly finding themselves feeling super frustrated with results that never seem to stick.
Statistics show 95% of people that try to control their weight with restrictive eating habits gain the weight they lose back within 3 to 5 years, and usually even more weight over time the more they restrict and yo-yo.
Also, seeing a low number on the scale is not a precursor for a happy body image. When I was at my lowest weight, I was the most unhappy, and I know I'm not alone.
I wasted TONS of money on special programs, detoxes, and diet pills, foods, and books.
I wasted TONS of time measuring and calculating, feeling hungry, beating myself up for eating something wrong, eating my sad/unhappy feelings, and obsessing and over-thinking about food and my body.
And despite the low number I saw on the scale, I was still super self-conscious about my body, I still had low self-esteem/confidence, and I was still paranoid about gaining weight.
I missed out on doing fun, social activities to not be tempted by bad foods, and if I did go out, I didn't enjoy myself or make happy memories due to my inner mean girl chat filling my mind.
My eating habits and relationship with food did NOT spark joy, they sparked misery, anxiety, frustration, and feelings of hopelessness. And my life reflected those feelings too.
How much joy and happiness are you sacrificing now as you work toward a body that you think will make you joyful and happy?
Is the sacrifice paying off? Or are you spending more time, energy, and stress on food than you'd like? Maybe you're ok with how things are, but if you're not, experiment!
If you hate it, you can always go back to what you're doing now.
Challenge yourself for 7 days to only choose foods based on tuning into your body and seeing which foods spark joy for you.
Before you eat, ask yourself "what foods would taste good and make me happy?" For example, chicken and veggies would not taste good to me. So I might ask myself what I can do to the chicken and veggies to make them more joyful? Add rice and guacamole? YUM!
After you find something that would taste good, ask yourself "how will I feel after eating that?" For example, pizza might taste delicious but I usually don't feel good after eating it because of my food sensitivities. So I'd ask myself "Is it worth it?" Sometimes yes! I just want pizza regardless. Sometimes no I'd rather eat something that I'd feel better after eating.
Aim for foods that taste good and feel good!
When you do eat – stay tuned in. Ask yourself after every bite or so if you're still hungry and is it still bringing you joy. If not – stop eating or choose something else! Focus on getting pleasure and joy from the food you eat.
Go in with an open mind, knowing all foods are created equal, there are no good foods or bad foods, food is just food.
By doing this you're also optimizing your day in/day out calorie burning capacity, releasing more 'happy' hormones, and enhancing your digestion too.
Ultimately this technique will help you find a natural balance between eating for health and joy without forcing it!

Where did I put that tuner?
I thought it was in the dulcimer case. Guess not. Could I have left it at June's house where we had the jam on Saturday? Don't think so. She would have called me. Another "senior moment?" Please..not yet! I'm only ___(insert your age here)!
Yes…..it happens to all of us.
I've included MP3 files for the more common dulcimer tunings: DAA, DAD, DAC, and DGD.
For those of you new to the Mountain Dulcimer, an explanation of the tuning process is included. For the more experienced, who need only to hear the notes, select the "quick-tune" option.
When you've finished, you may resume looking for your tuner. Don't worry; it's bound to turn up somewhere.

A bodybuilder taking steroids can use a lot more protein than a natural bodybuilder can handle because the drug enables greater nitrogen retention than the human body is designed to handle, said Mark Hyman, professor of food science and a co-author of the study. This means that anabolic steroids help to build muscle in the absence of proper nutrition, Hyman said. The muscle building drugs also have the effect of making anabolic steroids less available for bodybuilders to take as well as decreasing a bodybuilder's testosterone production. These two factors make it easier for a bodybuilder to attain anabolic steroids in lower doses. In the study, the scientists measured steroid levels in 40 bodybuilders, 16 of whom had taken anabolic steroids in the past. The bodybuilders took supplements that were designed to provide as much nitrogen, a byproduct of bodybuilding exercise, as possible. This nutrient is an important nutrient for muscle growth to take place. "Some of the steroids included in the study have been shown to decrease nitrogen retention in the short term but increase in nitrogen retention in the long term," Hyman said. The researchers used anabolic steroids that were made by a company called Synthab, which was bought out by J&J in 1996. J&J said the study was conducted with a variety of scientific standards and protocols. "We do not believe any of the other manufacturers of anabolic steroids have any role in the study," J&J said in a statement. "We have reviewed the study and our scientific staff will make the final decision as to whether any of our products should be used in future studies." The study's findings, of whether a bodybuilding cycle will result in higher testosterone or more nitrogen retention, will be published Sept. 27 in the Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

Jean-Claude Risset
(b. 13 March 1938, Le Puy-en-Velay – d. 21 November 2016, Marseille).
French composer of mostly orchestral, chamber, vocal, piano, and electroacoustic works that have been performed throughout the world.
Mr. Risset studied composition with Suzanne Demarquez and André Jolivet and piano with Huguette Goullon and Robert Trimaille at the École Normale Supérieure de Paris from 1957–61. There he also had studies in mathematics and physics and earned his Doctorat ès Sciences in 1967. He was later awarded honorary doctorates from the University of Edinburgh in 1994 and the Universidad de Córdoba in 2000.
Among his honours were the UFAM Prix pour Piano (1963), the Prix du Groupement des Acousticiens de Langue Française (1967), a prize in the Dartmouth electronic music competition (1970, for Mutations), and the Bronze, Silver and Gold medals from the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Marseille (1972, 1987, 1999). He has also received First Prize, Euphonie d'Or and the Prix Magisterium in the Concours International de Musique Électroacoustique de Bourges (1980, 1982, 1998), the Grand Prix SACEM de la promotion de la musique symphonique (1981), the Golden Nica from the Prix Ars Electronica in Graz (1987), the Grand Prix National de la Musique (1990), the Grand Prix Musica Nova in Prague (1995), the Ars Nova Prize in Prague (1996), and the EAR Prize in Budapest (1997). In addition, he was named an Officier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 1986 and a Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur by the government of France in 1989.
He was also active in other positions. He worked with Max Mathews at Bell Labs in New Jersey in 1965 and from 1967–69, initially on brass synthesis and later on pitch paradoxes, sonic development processes and the synthesis of new timbres. There he had important encounters with F. Richard Moore, John Pierce, James Tenney, Vladimir Ussachevsky, and Edgard Varèse. He then worked at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Marseille from 1969–72, where he served as Directeur de recherche at the Laboratoire de Mécanique et d'Acoustique from 1985–99, thereafter its Directeur de recherche émérite. He established the computer sound systems at the Faculté d'Orsay and the Université de Paris in 1970–71 and served as chair of the computer department at IRCAM from 1975–79. In addition, he served as composer-in-residence at the Media Laboratory at MIT in 1987 and 1989. As a writer, he wrote many articles about computer and electronic music that have appeared in numerous journals and magazines, as well as the book An introductory catalog of computer synthesized sounds (1969, second edition, 1995, Wergo).
He taught at the Université d'Aix-Marseille from 1972–75 and 1979–85, where he established its computer sound system in 1974. He also lectured in Argentina, Australia, Finland, France, Japan, and the USA.

You can learn a lot from the fallout of failed marriages, political campaigns and cooperative musical entities alike. Fr'instance, and despite the fact it took fifteen years to happen, the release of Walter Becker's admirable 11 Tracks of Wack (Giant, 1994) revealed that it was Becker (and not frontman Donald Fagan) who brought out the razored wit and blacken'd heart in Steely Dan, and that Don was merely the soft-centered, chordally sophisticated Fusioneer who gave laconic voice to Walter's cynical vision.
The similarly belated advent of "No…Really!" sheds insightful light on the composition, as it were, of the texturally unpredictable, colorful collaboration known throughout the length of their dozen-year, four-album existence as the Microscopic Sextet, which was created by P.L.U. pianist Forrester and current Big Trouble ringmaster, sopranist Phillip Johnston. The evidence of the present volume, which is Forrester's first as a leader, makes out a case that it was Johnston who brought the more lightly skewed perspective to the Micros, while it was the lyrical, precise Forrester who was content to be wildest around the edges.
Meaning ,I suppose that "No…Really!"'s true subversion lies in its utter accessibility and (no…really, I swear) potential widespread commercial appeal, to paraphrase the late Frank Zappa. The harmonically rich, nimble bebop People Like Us tosses off with such casual aplomb deserves thunderous applause followed by rapt attention. Who knows? We'll see.
No doubt partially due to the baritone saxophone's front-line dominance – Micro alum Dave Sewelson guests with the astounding Claire Daly)whose clean articulation places her a bit closer to Serge Chaloff than Jeru) on a trio of tracks – one can't help drawing allusional parallels between P.L.U. and that vintage, circa-1959, Gerry Mulligan/Art Farmer fo'tet, the piano's presence notwithstanding. Then again, perhaps it's the record's overall warmth, or Forrester's witty melodic sense (he being the author of all the group's material), or maybe it's the spirited group interplay.
People Like Us have given us people a fine, fine album.
The low-register, gruff-textured baritone sax, like expensive scotch whiskey, is an acquired taste. That factor, combined with its size (compared with its tenor, alto and soprano counterparts, the baritone is cumbersome), explains why the bari gets short shrift on bandstands and recording studios. Because of the limited opportunities afforded the bari, the instrument has relatively few practitioners. Nonetheless, those who do play the bari, as their first horn, usually play it well.
Such is the case here. People Like Us is a neobop foursome led by pianist/composer Joel Forrester, co-founder of New York's delightfully quirky Microscopic Septet, together for 20 years.
His compatriots are Dave Hofstra, (another charter member of the Micros), drummer Denis Charles and baritonist Claire Daly; three of the nine selections, all penned by Forrester (who has a whopping 950 tunes to his credit), feature a second bari, Dave Sewelson. "Wait For The Word" and, especially, "Don't Ask Me Now" (both with two baris) are airplay-worthy and telling of the pianist's link to Thelonious Monk.
Forrester is an uncanny individualist with abiding respect for, and keen knowledge about, the jazz masters who've preceded him. Check out the aforesaid cuts, along with the other two-bari track, "Two Sisters", on this briskly melodic platter full of smile-inducing solos.
Pianist and composer Joel Forrester, 51, still pounds the pavement on a regular basis, hunting for gigs in restaurants and bars around New York. A bop-oriented player with a crisp attack who cites Thelonious Monk as his number-one influence, Forrester recently issued No…Really!, the first CD by his working quartet, People Like Us. The personnel includes baritone saxophonist Claire Daly, bassist Dave Hofstra, and drummer Denis Charles.
The influence of Monk is writ large here, but as Francis Davis writes in the liner notes, "Forrester's ability to suggest Thelonious Monk (is achieved) by winking allusion rather than shallow emulation." The eight numbers are composed by Forrester, and the quartet's playing is intelligent and engaging. On the longest number, "The Road Ahead", Claire Daly's rough tone on baritone and Forrester's bright and playful approach are characteristic of the stimulating musical conversations one hears on this excellent outing.
Jazz is winning Pulitzer Prizes, grabbing the media's lapels, catching the roving eyes of foundations with $1,000 bills falling out of their pockets. Which is all very nice and thrilling and a boon to civilization as we know it. Yet, there are …how to put this?…qualms about this talk of resurgence and respectability and tradition.
I'm all for resurgence. But respectability implies a smoothing out of jazz' more unruly traditions. Its sense of humor, for instance.
Even those who pride themselves on being opposed to the grim guardians of tradition at Lincoln Center can be just as grim and, if anything, more humorless. Has everyone forgotten that jazz – exalted American treasure, timeless, majestic art and all that blah blah – is supposed to be fun?
People like Joel Forrester haven't. Forrester was the pianist and, along with Phillip Johnston, co-founder of the late, lamented Microscopic Septet, a cadre of rakish wise guys who played big-band music with cool finesse and antic daring. In a less confused, more generous world they might have been superstars. But they were always a little too "outside" for mainstream tastes and too raucous for the musical elite.
People Like Us, a Forrester-led quartet that includes Denis Charles on drums, Claire Daly on baritone sax and Dave Hofstra on bass, dose the same thing with small-group dynamics that the Microscopics did with big-band conventions: turn them inside out without shattering the format.
"Wait for the Word", for instance, flows like a Lennie Trestano arrangement, complete with unexpected harmonic shifts. "I Wonder" takes the listener on a winding journey through the rhumba at varying speeds. As was the case with the Microscopics, the quartet's music carries traits lacking in a lot of contemporary jazz: catchy melodies, zesty hooks and cool titles like "Monkey in the Middle" and "Your Political Movie." It's "trad-hop" that packs a seltzer bottle, ready t squirt your expectations silly.
People Like Us is an exuberant reply to those who think jazz takes itself either too seriously or not seriously enough. Yet, Forrester and company are so "fringe" that it'll take a miracle to convince bookers for "Rosie" or "Regis & Kathie Lee" to give this music some air time. C'mon, guys! The least you can do is read the liner notes. Forrester's dry, wry commentary will make you consider hiring him as a full-time comic foil. You could do a lot worse.

Not All Medals Are Created Equal
I can't resist a quick post about the Olympics!
Much has been said about the US setting a new Winter Olympics medal record (37), and Canada setting a new Winter Olympics gold medal record (14). But what would the medal count look like if we weighted each medal according to some measure of significance?
Obviously, what's significant for a country may not be for another. Even then, I'm pretty sure even Koreans would agree that hockey medals mean more than speedskating ones. I used the following simple formula for determining the weight of each medal, and I think it produces intuitive results:
Square root of number of athletes on a team, rounded to the nearest integer
+1 if the event is the only Olympic event for (almost) every athlete competing in it
+1 if the event features a weeklong tournament
For example, hockey medals are worth 5+1+1=7, curling medals are worth 2+1+1=4, while 33 other medals are worth 2 and the remaining 49 are worth 1. This produces the following weighting of sports:
Cross-country 14
Hockey 14
Speedskating 14
Biathlon 12
Freestyle Skiing 12
Alpine Skiing 10
Short Track 10
Curling 8
Luge 6
Bobsleigh 5
Nordic Combined 4
Skeleton 4
Ski Jumping 4
Freestyle and snowboard appear overweighted at first glance. But I would argue that each of these "sports" is actually 3 sports: for example, ski cross and aerials are just as far apart as alpine skiing and cross-country, and more so than the two kinds of speedskating.
The total weight for the 86 events is 137 (69 for ice sports and 68 for snow sports), so I then multiply by 86/137 and round to the nearest integer to produce the adjusted medal count.
Top 10 Countries by Weighted Medals (actual in parentheses)
USA 42 (37)
CAN 37 (26)
GER 27 (30)
NOR 20 (23)
AUT 14 (16)
RUS 13 (15)
CHN 13 (11)
FIN 12 (5)
FRA 10 (11)
SWE 10 (11)
Canada and Finland are the big winners. The US gains as well, while all other countries lose out, but only slightly.
Top 12 Countries by Weighted Gold Medals (actual in parentheses)
USA 9 (9)
GER 8 (10)
NOR 7 (9)
SWE 6 (5)
KOR 4 (6)
SUI 4 (6)
CHN 4 (5)
AUT 4 (4)
NED 3 (4)
RUS 3 (3)
AUS 3 (2)
O Canada! Even if I had weighted the hockey and curling medals at 2 instead of 7 and 4, Canada's normalized gold total would still be 18. That's right - not only did Canada win the most medals ever, but it tended to win them in team events and in events where athletes did not have multiple chances. The latter means that to get to 14, Canada couldn't rely on a handful of sports that happen to have lots of events: amazingly, despite the huge overall total, Canada did not win more than 2 gold medals in any sport, and no Canadian athlete got more than 2 medals of any colour. Canada is also the only country to have won gold in a majority of the 15 sports (9).
So, in summary: once you apply some kind of sensible weighting scheme to events, the Canadian performance at the Games is even more impressive!
CanadianSense said...
Gold Medal winners are the only ones really remembered.
Can we remember the silver medal winners behind Mark Spitz?
From Zero to 14 on home soil is unmatched on homsoil by any winter olmpic super power.
Norway, US, Germany have always done well. Only Norway has a smaller population but they have always done better than us.
We owned the podium in 2010.
Election Watcher said...
Well, Joannie Rochette's bronze will probably be remembered more than most golds. But of course, you're right, with the caveats that other medals are remembered:
1. when there's a compelling story;
2. when they're won by an athlete that also won many other medals;
3. when they have historical significance (e.g. if we had won our first ever medal in men's cross-country skiing);
4. when they're in hockey (remembered as disappointment).
I might add that 14 gold in the Winter Games is unmatched, period, home soil or not.
Norway's performance is amazing Games after Games, but I'll point out that 8 of their 9 golds came in cross-country and biathlon. It also helps that they get so much oil money that the government has saved a year's worth of GDP...
But isn't it oh so Canadian that our media rank us 3rd, while everyone outside of North America ranks us 1st? I'll point out that Radio-Canada used to rank by gold, but switched to total medals this time because of the COC objective and because Canada has historically done better by the latter metric...

Adverse drug events (ADEs) are common, costly and one of the most important issues in contemporary pharmacotherapy. Current drug safety surveillance methods are largely based on spontaneous reports. However, this is known to be rather ineffective. There is a lack of automated systems checking potential ADEs on routine data captured in electronic health records (EHRs); present systems are usually built directly on top of specific clinical information systems through proprietary interfaces. In the context of the European project "SALUS", we aim to provide an infrastructure as well as a tool-set for accessing and analyzing clinical patient data of heterogeneous clinical information systems utilizing standard methods. This paper focuses on two components of the SALUS architecture: The "Semantic Interoperability Layer" (SIL) enables an access to disparate EHR sources in order to provide the patient data in a common data model for ADE detection within the "ADE Detection and Notification Tool" (ANT). The SIL in combination with the ANT can be used in different clinical environments to increase ADE detection and reporting rates. Thus, our approach promises a profound impact in the domain of pharmacovigilance.


Hello! In my account and in the accounts of my clients we are noticing an usual amount of recordings on the workflow timeline for individual contacts that they have "opened" emails. It will show at times a dozen times that someone has opened the emails. Can you please advise on why this is happening? It is clogging up the timeline and making it difficult to see the recent notes we have put in to contacts. Thank you!
This issue has now been addressed in version 5.0. Duplicate opens in a row will only show as a single open. If any other timeline event occurs such as a different email being opened, or a note is added to the CRM, or an invoice is created, etc. A subsequent opened email will be reported once more in the Workflow Timeline.
Thank you for resolving this so quickly!
